Aether and the others were walking outside from Claire's dorm to Aether's dorm. "Hey Claire, you told me that you can find my dorm easily, why don't you try now?" Aether challenges Claire to find his dorm as even though he struggles to find it at first, even now, sometimes he will get confused. "113 right, fine I will find it." Claire takes the lead with a confident face while Aether was holding his laughter behind them. While walking to the boy's dorm, they stopped in the middle of the girls and boys dorms, which means at the entrance of both hallways of girls and boys meet, curiously, Aether asks what happened as they suddenly stopped. The next thing he knew was he was hidden behind Claire's friends. Suddenly another voice comes from the front where Claire is standing. "Who is that, Is that someone they knew?" Aether mounted and tried to take a peek.
"Hey Claire, whatcha doing here." A cocky voice from a boy was heard or rang in Aether's ears.
"What you care get lost." Claire voices while glancing her eyes behind to her friends.
The reason Aether was hidden was because of the man standing at the front. If that man knows about Aether and Claire, this won't go smoothly. "We have to hide Aether, if that idiot knows that Aether's Claire's brother, it will be a bad outcome," Lena mounted in her heart while hiding Aether behind her. "Come on, don't talk to me like that. I like you a lot you know," says Ryan, an idiot. "Fool, you should go now, or I will call security," Zheny says while pointing at him. Ryan grins his teeth as he is pissed at the way Zheny was speaking.
"I don't know what is happening but this Ryan guy is troublesome," Aether mounted seeing how the others were reacting. Aether probably understood that they are hiding him to prevent from that guy seeing him, Aether then pulls Hinata's shirt as she was standing beside Lena. "Yes?" Hinata mounted. Aether asks who is he at Hinata and she says that "He is a scum who has been bothering Claire saying that he loves her, but it seems like Claire doesn't give a fuck to him and ignores him," Thus if he knows that Aether is Claire's brother, he will use Aether as a bait. "You're bothering my sister when she doesn't like you, how can I repay you this kindness," Aether was pissed, his eyes started to glow, but then he stopped and took a breath. "Phew, I almost lost it- heh?" Aether trips and falls to the side. A few minutes earlier...Ryan notices they are hiding something "Hey, what are you hiding behind you guys," he says while pointing at Lena. "What you care," Lena replied. Ryan threatened them that he will force his way and the reply was "You dare?"
The mighty Ryan began hesitating since there is two Child Of Lights at the spot and he had no chance whatsoever to win against both of them. Yes, that's right Hinata is also a Chosen one, she is also a second-year Child of Lights. Suddenly..."Ahh! Wind?" Aether trips and falls exposing himself. "Aether are you ok," Claire asked running to him and getting him up. "Yeah, I am okay." Aether says and got up holding onto Claire "That guy Ryan uses his magic to push me while I was worked up, I am so stupid," Eren sighed and makes eye contact with Ryan, he was standing like "My fault, My fault," while looking at Ryan uninterested. "Ehh, there is a boy, who is this? Ryan asks pointing at Aether. "Not your problem now, is it?" Hinata voiced. "Fine, I will ask him myself." The wind was coming out of Ryan's hand signaling he will hurt that boy. Claire who was worried that his magic might hurt Aether tells the truth "Stop, he is my brother. Don't touch him,"
Ryan cancels his magic and looked at Aether, he then laughs saying "You mean this boy is your brother? This non-gifter is your brother? This failure boy, this boy is Claire's little brother? A Child Of Lights Iittle brother? Hahaha," Lena gets pissed hearing that and says "Get lost, you want to be beaten up to death,' she says staring at him.
Ryan hesitates and took a step back "Huh! fine, I will, but the fun starts now, hahaha." After saying that, Ryan leaves. Everyone becomes silent until Aether voices "Shall we go now." Claire and her friends apologize to Aether. They said "We are sorry, we shouldn't have come with you," they were guilty of what Aether don't want to happen, happened. "Well, this is gonna be troublesome, but it's okay and I know sooner or later this will come out, but not this soon, haha." Aether laughs as if he is okay and will do something about it, in truth he was pissed at Ryan, "Now I have to do something, such a pain in the ass," Aether mounted in his head them Zheny voiced "Your days at this academy can be hard you know," she says looking at Aether with in a sorry face.
Aether who heard that, with a smiling face replied "Well, I have you sisters to defend me right? So I don't have to worry, Hehe." His smile touched all of them and they agreed that they will protect Aether if anything happens to him. After that, Aether looks at Claire who was down, and holds her hands saying "Come one let's go." Claire looked at Aether and mounted "I am sorry Aether," she was in a state of crying too. "I told you right, it's not a problem. Now then quickly find my dorm or you have to treat me to food some other time." He quickly changes the atmosphere to prevent it to become even more gloomy than it already is. "Ehh, I didn't promise that." Claire voiced breaking from her crying state, "Well, I just came up with it, haha." Aether laughs and they started walking to the boy's dorm.
Everyone looked relaxed as they started walking but deep in their heart, they felt sorry and angry because they couldn't help Aether. They also felt very sad and sorry because even after getting badmouthed like that, he was still able to cheer others and keep a bright face. Well, they don't know that those words don't hold any meaning or anything to Aether, but still, if anyone were at Aether's place at that time, they would have already shattered their will...
